    do not Install guard rail because the guard rail cost exceed the expected benefits

    Explanation:

    given data

    guard rail cost = $70,000

    average damage = $10,000

    guard rail prevent = 5 vehicles

    to find out

    What should the county do

    solution

    we know here guard rail cost is $70,000

    but expected benefits = $10,000 * 5

    expected benefits = $50,000

    so we can say that do not Install guard rail because the guard rail cost exceed the expected benefits
